Compound exercises are those which recruit multiple muscle groups at once. This means that during a compound exercise, such as barbell squat, you are recruiting more muscle fibres overall in comparison to isolation exercises such as leg extensions. By recruiting more muscle fibres, you promote greater muscle hypertrophy and strength gains in contrast to isolation exercises that only recruit one muscle group at a time. Don't get me wrong, isolation exercises are great however you should never prioritise them over compound lifts. You want to prioritise compound lifts in regards to your energy levels at the start of a workout so that you can get out of doing that lift🏋️‍♂️, what you put into it👌. In conclusion, always prioritise your compound lifts (deadlift, squat, bench and overhead press) before then moving onto your isolation exercises (bicep curls, tricep pushdowns and hammer curls).
